Ash Trees Needed
Researchers are continuing to evaluate
insecticide options for emerald ash borer (EAB) control. To do
this, they are in the search of ash (Fraxinus sp.) trees
that can be used in their replicated plots. There should be a
minimum of 35 trees in the same area and be of the same relative
size. The preferred size should be between 6-12" DBH
(diameter at breast height), and in an area with early EAB
pressures. These requirements have lent themselves to utilizing
street trees in past projects. If you have a potential site(s) or
need additional information, please contact Amy Stone at stone.91@cfaes.osu.edu
or at 419-578-6783 ext. 12.
